actor/writer/director Albert Brooks’ 1985 road trip comedy, Lost
in America. Both DVD and

A new 2K digital transfer is the offing, as well as a newly

Your Enthusiasm producer Robert Weide.
There are also new interview sessions featuring Lost
in America’s Julie Hagerty, executive producer Herb Nanas (Emmy-nominee

Best Picture and Best Writing for his 1987 film Broadcast News, which
co-starred Albert Brooks … he also won three Oscars in 1983 for Best Picture,
Best Director and Best Writing for Terms of Endearment).
Also heading home as both DVD and Blu-ray buying options in
July from The Criterion Collection are French filmmaker Robert Bresson’s 1983
film release L'argent and Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy,
which features Rome Open City, Paisan and Germany Year Zero. Both of these will street on July 11.
